I went to a MDF banquet the other night. They showed the projects they have been working on. The main thing I noticed was that all the projects they showed were done on private land.
Here in ND the G&F have land that they lease for a set amount of time from private landowners. It was this private land open to sportsmen that MDF was trying to improve. I was pretty disappointed when I saw that MDF was spending most of the money on improving private land that the public may not be able to access in 3-4 years. What if the rancher decides he doesn't want to be part of the PLOTS program anymore? Why not work on improving all the public first then work on the private land?
Is it the same in other states? Is MDF mostly working on projects on private land or do they do projects on public as well? I doubt I donate anymore to MDF here since all the money is going to private land.
